Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.3.0)
Apology accepted. But you're still not taking into account PPLNS, a reason why I suggested you do some reading (not all shares you submit are paid, not all blocks are equal in either length or difficulty, not all last N shares span a single block, etc).
Yes, I've actually just started learning about PPLNS, mostly the hard way... I was mining VTC on give-me-coins for awhile but the time to find a block was really long and quite random - ranging from 20 to 100 hours... Needless to say, if the PPLNS window was set for 30 hours, as this was the average ttf reported by the pool at the time, then if it takes 100 hours a whole bunch of your shares will get tossed out.
it seems bminer was faster ... but as was pointed out earlier, @realbminer could have just watched this thread and tweaked with the fee to make it 2% faster by removing the fee for the duration of that test for all we know. It is the most untrustworthy and suspicious miner out there, hands down. Add that @realbminer didn't address the questions and you have an explanation why people are not trusting this miner and are sticking with dstm's. Remove the private connection if you want to be taken (more) seriously.
I think we'll file this under, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean your miners aren't out to get you."
